I've been having a look at some of the other shortlisted blogs, and it's an honour to be in such esteemed blogging company, so congratulations to all that made it through to the shortlist. Judging is now underway to determine the finalists, and the winners will be announced at the Blog Awards themselves on the 12th October. I'm very excited at the prospect of meeting some of my fellow bloggers, so I've already booked my ticket to attend. Of course, if you'd like to come, there's still time to book tickets and it'd be great to meet anyone that wants to come along.

I can never say it enough - but thank you all so much for reading Lexicolatry, for your fun and witty comments, to contributors like Katie Dwyer (who has written today's word which you can see by clicking here) and of course to all those that took the time to nominate Lexicolatry in the first place.

Ok, I'm cabobbled!I can't see where to vote.The link you gave goes to the long list, and try as I might, I can't find where to vote for the short list for the Best Post.But it's late here.The eyes are weary.And the brain's in go-to-bed mode!

I checked the link and it's the right page, although it is confusingly marked long-list. However, it's the long-list for the 'Best Post' category. If you have a look down there, you will see Lexicolatry; just tick the box, go to the bottom and press vote.
